Company X is a global financial services firm with approximately 56,000 employees occupying 888 locations throughout 39 countries. The majority of our buildings are pure office space. We also occupy data centers, trading floors, and roughly 600 branch offices. We have a Total Insured Value of approximately $11.5 billion. This includes Business Interruption values which we allocate to each and every location with the assistance of a forensic accounting firm. An exposure summary is provided in Appendix A.Additionally, Company Xs Property program currently conforms to Basel II requirements and has done so since 2008. The entire Property policy is fronted by Company Xs captive insurer which allows the commercial insurance panel to act in a reinsurance capacity. The current Property insurance program has a limit of USD1 Billion with all other property (AOP) deductibles of $500,000 per occurrence for property damage and $2,500,000 per occurrence for time element losses. Appendix B points out some of the many perils where the policy contains sub-limits. In addition, we utilize our captive insurer to buy down this deductible for our smaller offices around the world. They benefit from a $50,000 per loss deductible with a limit of $500,000.There are many insurance carriers utilized for this program. We enjoy long standing relationships with our Domestic, United Kingdom, and Bermuda markets. A challenging goal is to reduce the number of carriers in the primary layer. Even when capacity enables us to do this, our longevity with many carriers makes it difficult for us to actually eliminate them. This has proven to be difficult due to long-standing relationships and a recent claim payment. Company Xs Property/Business Interruption risk can be characterized as low frequency with high severity potential. Please refer to Appendix C for our loss history.
